I've seen a couple of Lupin III-related things before, but I was mostly interested in watching this one because it was directed by Takashi Yamazaki, who's helmed the latest Godzilla movie. That's one I'm very excited about seeing next week, so I thought I'd check out something else from the director before then.
Lupin III: The First is an overall pretty fun film. If I had the time and I was even more pretentious than I am, I'd make a video essay about how Indiana Jones 5 ripped this off. I don't even think there's more than a couple of similarities, but the thought crossed my mind at one point and didn't leave.
This Is also much better than Indiana Jones 5, not to mention an hour shorter and it didn't make me miserable either, which is always a plus when it comes to breezy action/adventure movies.
